COUNCIL.
TWENTY-sECOND DAY.

BISMARCK, Feb. /, 1887.
The report of the committee of confer
ence on the resolution H. B. No. 5, provid-
ing for the furnishing Levisee's codes to
members of the legislature was taken up
for action. The conference recommended
that the council recede from its amend
ment providing that the books should re.
main the property of the territory and be
receipted for and be returned or paid for.
Mr.. GAIN moved to accept the report of
the conferees.
Mr.. WASHABAUGH moved to amend
that it be not adopted. Mr.. Bogert, in the
chair, ruled this motion out of order, on
the ground that the amendment would be
the destruction of the original motion. Mr..
Washbaugh appealed from the ruling and
the chair was sustained by a majority of
the council.
Mr.. WASHABAUGH, for information of
the chair and house, was permitted to read
from Cushing's Manual, section 20, para
graphs 128 and 129, sustaining his posi-
tion that the amendment may be made en- :
tirely changing the original proposition
and compelling its friends to take the con-
trary side.
After some time spent in obtaining an
understanding of the conferees report, the
report was adopted and the bill as amended
was passed.
Messrs. HUGHES and SHELDON, of
Day, were hopeful that this legislature
would order new revision of the statutes,
whereby the Levisee's would be made
worth nothing two years from now, con-
sented to the amendment and voted for
the bill.
A motion to adjourn on account Of the
uncomfortably cold temperature In the
room, was voted down.
ANOTHER CLERK.
Mr.. McCU MBER offered a resolution for
the appointment of a clerk for the COM
mittees on agriculture and territorial af-
fairs, to be paid IS a day, and explained
the need Of a clerk by these committees.
Mr.. ERICSSON opposed the resolution, as
did also Mr.. WASHABAUGH.

FREE LIBRARIES.
No. 1872. By Mr.. Dodge, proposes to au-
thorize cities. villages and towns Of not
less than 1000 inhabitants to establish and
maintain free public libraries and reading
rooms, for which an annual tax of not ex-
ceeding one mill may be levied and col
lected. The management of each is to be

board Of education.
FICTITIOUS NAMES.
No. 1873. BY Mr.. Cain (by request), pro-
poses to repeal article 7, of chapter 2, title
10, of the civil code. The article to be re-
pealed requires of firms or companies, the
names of which do not show the persons
composing the same, that they file list of
the names, with particulars, with the clerk
of court. and that new list be filed on ev-
cry change OF partners.
COMMISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION.

pirate for printing and other expenses of
the office of commissioner of immigration.
$500 for 1885, $4,000 for 1887 and $4,000
for 1888.
THE RAILROAD LAW.
No. 1876. BY Mr.. Weiser, proposes to
amend the railroad commissioner law of
1885 by adding to section that the COM
missioners are empowered and it is their
duty, where railroad rates are exorbitant,
unjust or oppressive, to alter or lower the
same and fix maximum rates. The COM
pany may appeal to the district court and
the court shall have power to determine
the reasonableDess and prOpriety of the
rates and may approve or modify the same.
Also, that every company, on the payment
of 81 annually shall allow anyone to main
tain and operate an elevator and warehouse
at any way station, without regard to cap
acity. The company shall provide side
tracks and Other, facilities. Also, that
where two railroad stations are ten miles
or more apart the commissioners may re-
quire the company to establish and main
tain a siding between the two stations

Scattering Shots.

Senator Donovan thinks it is about time
sidewalk leading to the capitol, and it is
hoped that Warden Williams will have the
club out this morning.
The visit of the associate justices of the
supreme court to the legislature yesterday
is suggestive. But why should the judicial
gentlemen borrow trouble from the future
by looking in upon the machinery which i,
manufacturing knots and puzzles for them
to unite and solve in the years to come?
When Mr.. Ruggles, the athletic giant OF
Edmunds county, brought Ills clencled fist
down upon his desk yesterday and all
nOunced that "a man with any SenSe'
could see that the usury law was an injury
to the territory, the members who had been
arguing in favor of the law were knocked
speechless, and had Mr.. Ruggles been a
small man, the imputation Would have
been fOrcibly resented.
Ex-senator Twomey's presence in the
city at this time is not in the interest of
his efforts, was located at Fargo two years
ago, and the fears Of the economists that
he is here to secure another large appr0-
priatiOn for the same are unfOunded. Mr..
TW0mey will be remembered as the con-
ductOr of the liveliest legislative excursion
that ever lett Streak or brilliant red paint
along the line of a railroad.
1t is learned that Senator O'Harstad is
very much chagrined at the action of the
senate yesterday in enabling women to be
notaries public, and turning to his seat at
the close of the debate he exclaimed:
"Why, glntlemin, il yes kaip on at this
rate, it will not be more nor yair before
the gyerls will be demandin' our salts in
the legislator" Mr.. O'Harstad must have
mistaken the wording of the bill. 1t is not
that women be made "notoriously public.'
but "notaries public"
Representative Aikens who is rapidly
gaining a reputation for being the home
liest man in the legislature, and whom the
TRIBUNE now nominates for the homely
mans prize, made some very sensible and
fearless remarks on the impractical and
farcial usury laws which have been enacted
by past legislatures. Whether or not Mr..
Aikens so intended, there was method in
his madness and we'll wager guinea that
if he is desir0us of making a small loan
this morning, the "usurers" yclept. will not
charge him a greater rate OF interest than
the law allows.
The fact that the United States senate
defeated the woman's suffrage bill which
rustled its skirts in the halls of congress
does not appear to have discouraged that
gallant old colt, Colonel Moore, of the
house. It Is said that he is sitting UP

"A Mares Nest"

The term "a mares nest" by the
way, probably has no other history
than is contained in a story current
among the country people throughout
the United States.
In the days when negro slaves were
first imported into America, a young
slave. who had in his short residence
here never een a pumpkin. but had pick
ed up something of the language of the
country, happened to see a mare lying
down in the edge of a field by the side
of a little heap Of ripe yellow pumpkins.
It occurred to him that the pumpkins
must be eggs that the animal had laid.
He looked in amazement for a NOM
emit, and then ran to his master as fast
as his legs would carry him.
"Comee quick? he exclaimed; ''me
find mares nest-comee quick"
The story Of the comical '.ind'
spread rapidly enough, and since that
time any discovery which some person
regards as very strange or important,
but which other people are disposed to
make light OF, has been called o
'.mare's nest" - Youths Companion.

A London Fog.

London has had, in the course OF
This month, some OF the most amazing
fogs that ever darkened the air. As
70 the way the fogs are formed the
Telegraph says:
''Girded by wide and wet alluvial
flats as she is, every east wind brings
over London the damp e~xhalations
ii the Lower Thames and Midway.
\ high barometer presses the suspend
ed moisture down upon he streets
hlld squares and parks; but it would
be clean, white, ana wholesome, as
fogs are elsewhere, savctor the prod:g-
ious reek of coal.dust, carbonic acid,
and poisoning particles which the citi-
zens ar perpetually casting. into the
air. If the choked Londoner could
analyze the fog, he would find every
molecule of moisture studded with Jar
bon, arsenic, sulphur, and other res
spriatory horrors, the products Of his
own wasteful health, of his own out
rageously smoky chimney. Paris is
free and clear and pleasant, because
she burns wood; London is filthy and
poisoned, because of the million cowls
and stacks from which thousands OF
tons of coalsoot are continuously
poured into the air. Westerly breezes
and low barometers bear these away
in the form of brown clouds washed
clean by the sweet rain; easterly winds
and a high glass fling them back into
the faces of the stupid inhabitants,
who have spoiled their own atmos-
phere. Yet we might and should have
set this right long ago, but for the new
er-ending nuisance Of the Irish agita-
ton, which keeps Parliament from at
tending to the crying necessities OF the
capital"
